Shop Policies & Comprehensive Presentment. Our Main Goal: Your Satisfaction & Trust Please read our full presentment below before ordering. Mistakes & Communication: We are human and we make mistakes. Please allow us the opportunity to address any issues before leaving feedback. None of these paper-thin wrapper imperfections affect the coins inside.
If you require mint-fresh paper coverings, we cannot service your order. The Hard Plastic Cases: These are subject to small stress fractures from the original minting process or natural aging. Condition, Toning & Oxidation A Note from the 1956 Mint Superintendent Mrs. Biester: Sooner or later your Proof Coins may show evidence of oxidation (tarnish or discoloration)... We cannot assume responsibility for oxidation. Please do not ask us to make exchanges or adjustments. Our Position: If the Mint Superintendent issued this warning in 1956, imagine the natural toning that occurs over 60+ years. Metal interacts with air and light from the moment it is struck. We do not expect these coins to look as they did the day they were born, and we hope you don't either. The picture is the grade. Authenticity: All coins are guaranteed genuine for life. Grading is Opinion: We place zero value on third-party grading opinions (slabs) except for verification of authenticity.The Picture is the Grade: We spend thousands of dollars weekly on high-resolution photography. The picture of the coin IS the grade. Please use the enlargement tool to make your own assessment. High Grade: Top 20% of the surviving population.
Better Grade: Top 50% of the surviving population. The Reality of "Cleaned" Coins Cleaning is always a matter of degree.
Experience: In our 55+ years, we have found that almost every coin not in a sealed mint holder has been "cleaned" in some way-whether by a soft cloth, a pocket, or professional conservation. Honesty: If you ask us if a coin has been cleaned, we will give you our honest opinion on its visibility and its likelihood of passing a third-party grading service. Dumb questions are better than stupid mistakes.Note: We do charge for marital counseling!
